Use tool ↗About 10x
10x tracks application usage on a Mac and works out when you were actually in deep work versus switching context, using on-device models so the activity log does not leave the machine. It produces daily session summaries, a focus tier for each stretch of work, a count of context switches, and coaching notes drawn from your own patterns — the marketing examples cite figures like 18% fewer switches week over week and a 25% focus gain from earlier starts. The maker is tenexai, LLC. The app is free while in early access, with no future price announced.

Pros & cons of 10x
Keeping the analysis on-device is the right call for a tool whose raw material is a minute-by-minute log of everything you open, and it is the main reason to pick this over a cloud tracker. Early access means free today and an unknown bill later, which is fine for a personal tool and awkward for a team standardising on it.
Pros
- Analysis runs on-device rather than in the cloud
- Distinguishes deep work from context switching
- Daily summaries with streaks and coaching notes
- Free during early access
Cons
- Mac only, with no other platform announced
- Post-early-access pricing is unknown
- Needs macOS Accessibility permission to read window titles, which some employers' device policies block
Best for
- Solo knowledge workers auditing their own focus
- Mac users unwilling to ship an activity log to a server
- Anyone curious where context switching actually happens
Not for
- Windows or Linux users
- Teams needing shared reporting or admin controls
Watch out: Free while in early access is a temporary state — budget for an unannounced price before making it part of a routine.
